-»“I do not know under which coun
tijy we will be better off—Japan or
the United States. I do not know
hbfc you are going to treat us. It
looks as if things would be better
under you. America is a rich coun

A little Okinawan agricultural
teacher spoke with the serious con
cern of a man who suddenly stops
t<j consider future implications of
clashing events. A few weeks ago,
hiving destroyed many houses by
bombing, Americans invaded his is
land. The Japanese soldiers had
gpne to another part of Okinawa,
leaving elderly people, women, and
children to wait in caves for the
Americans to torture and kill them,
as the Japanese forecast.
,Instead of killing the civilians,
however, the Americans distrbuted
fdod and water and treated the
wounded. Now these same Ameri
cans, who came from so many thous
ands of miles away, are giving some
small employment to the people, al
lowing them to gather their crops
and return home in a few cases.
Certainly the Japanese had not told
the truth about the Americans.

Woman's Role
In Citizenship
Told By Doan
San Francisco, Calif., May.—
Dean Virginia Crocheron Gilder
sleeve of Barnard College is one of
the eight members of the American
delegation to the United Nations
Conference, on International Organ
ization.
Almost Invariably she is referred
to as "the only woman member.”
But, in company with the dozen or
so other women officially appoint
ed to represent their countries, she
herself promptly shifts the accent
1 to where it belongs —upon acknowl
edged qualifications rather than
starry singularity of status.
| No government (however temp
ered by chivalry) could very well
; afford to indulge at this hour in ir
relevent representation. If woman
i are here at San Francisco they arc
i here for a reason. By grace of abil
ity, not by bounty from above. They
are here as citizens. Which is a
i genderless word.
Dean Gildersleeve’s qualifications
are conspicuous enough. Her record
|as an educator is both substantial
land distinguished; and for many
! years she has been a student of iri-
I ternational affairs. As far back as
February. 1918. she was advocating
; a world security setup, to be sound
! lv implemented by armed force.
The range of organizations with
which she is affiliated define both
the spaciousness and vitality of her
concerns. And —most valuable a vir
tue just now—she has, one feels, the
moral and intellectual stamina to
maintain, through inevitable set
backs. confidence in the ultimate
flowering of an ideal.
\ “What we are doing here is only
a beginning; not an end." She
; stresses this, and believes that it
should be stressed very thoroughly
—seeing in overinflated expectations
the greatest danger to sustained
effort. Dean Gildersleeve has, one
feels, brought from the academic
world into the arena of public af
fairs a seasoned sense of the pro
cess of ideas. A mature realization
,of how gdudgingly traditions of
thinking change.
The magnitude of the task she
emphasizes repeatedly’; the magni-

Army Seeks To
Aid Coal Saving
Atlanta, Ga, April 29.—With a
coal shortage of 40,000.000 tons in
dicated for the nation, the Army in
the seven southeastern states is
launching a summer program to
save 20 per cent of its estimated re
quirement of 1,450,000 tons for the
next fiscal year, according to Cap
tain Guy H. Richards. Chief of En
gineer's office, Washington. who
tude of her own role seems to weigh
cn her lightly. She is easy in man
ner; very tall, and slender; with a
dark-eyed, mobile, vivid look. The
impression she conveys is of some
one who has for a very long time
been richly occupied with the hu
i inanities, and humanity.

has been assigned to the Job of fuel
conservation offioer in the Fourth
Service Command.
At each Army installation the
program will be handled through a
fuel conservation organization com
pored of officers down to company
commanders. Through this issue
means, Capt. Richards explains,
schools teaching the proper firing
jof heating units from kitchen
ranges to hot water heaters and
baccaks stoves will be conducted to
make all military personnel fuel
conservation conscious from the
commanding officer to the Gls.
’ After all, the soldier is the man
who shovels 80 per cent of the coal
used on a post,” said the officer.
“When he’s properly taught and
made aware of the necessity, he’ll
save coal, the troops will not lose
any time from training and the
saving will not cause any discom
fort to the men.
"This saving will start in pounds
and will grow into thousands of
tons. When proper .firing of stoves
is taught and even a pound of coal
saved at a firing—three times a day
in an Army heating stove—it will
save 120 tons of coal a day in the
Fourth Service Command when the
weather gets cold next winter.
That’s 18,000 tons for the average
five-month period when barracks
rhave to be heated in the southeast.
That’s 360 freight cars of coal or
more than six trainloads."
Capt. Richards points out that a
big saving will be made this summer
as 50 per. cent of the coal burned

Soldiers Asked
To Save Clothes
Atlanta, Ga.. April 29.—Get those
summer clothes out of the barracks
bags or foot lockers and repair ’em.
You haven’t seen ’em for five
months and you'll be needing them.
That's the message sent to the
